They cut chargers so they wouldn’t have to change them for the EU. The environment, as usual, is for greenwashing the move.

- gambiting 3y agoEh? That makes zero sense. The EU mandates the type of port on your device, not the type of charger bundled or not bundled with it. It makes even less sense given that the Apple chargers were always just dumb USB-A chargers with a separate cable - and apple still bundles the cable. So the actual charger part wouldn't have changed no matter what EU decided on this matter.
- bombcar 3y agoPerhaps referring to having to stock different SKUs of iPhone for each different plug type. Now the phones only need to be unique to radio requirements.
- ok_dad 3y agoThey clearly would rather do wireless charging than change the port right now.
- gambiting 3y agoIn what way? They did change the port, instead of throwing their hands in the air and going wireless charging only.
